Broker's Comments

This amazing looking Max Fun 35 yacht is the true meaning of a racer!

A very prominent local racer, as well as numerous cross Channel races, such as the Dieppe Dash and Royal Escape races - she's won them all!

Her owner attests to her being competitive in IRC1 in Solent races - particularly in light airs.

As soon as you approach, you'll recognise the usual winning features - a large, open cockpit, lightweight features, adjustments everywhere and a stripped out interior to get that weight off!

Of course there is much evidence of wear and tear, but it seems that where work needs to be done, it has been done. There are jobs to do, as there always will be, but she's an up and running local legend with character and her engine started first time for me.

Her owner tells me he has effectively got two interiors taken off and stored away at home, so if you're after a little more comfort, then this may assist.

All in all, if you want a yacht to help you compete and with a proven track record, you need to look at this one!
